Buddycloud v0.5.24 S60v3 SymbianOS9.x -mobile social platform-
Buddycloud is an application for your mobile phone that lets your friends know what you are doing and where you are.
Buddycloud is a mobile social location platform and open API.
Buddycloud adds context to the places you visit in the real world and makes it fun and easy to share these on sites like Twitter and Facebook.
As a Buddycloud user, you can bookmark and tag locations that mean something to you. For eample: Home, The Pub, Joe's House and Favourite Coffee Shop.
As you move around, Buddycloud automatically places you back at previously saved bookmarks, and updates your Buddycloud friends, Facebook and Twitter. It also shows you other people and places nearby. Short status messages can also be pushed into twitter.
Buddycloud is also about knowing where you were in the past and future. A simple future location can also be set. A simple example:
* Status message: Wow, that was a long week. Anyone up for a pint? (also pushed to Twitter and Facebook)
* Previous place: Work
* Current place: On the road in Southwark
* Next place: The Anchor Pub
Now your friends know that you are gagging for a pint on Friday evening.
Buddycloud is slightly different to other friend-finder type services. It uses multiple location sources. Cell Towers, WiFi, GPS and bluethooth can be used in combination. This means that it works well indoors where GPS based solutions fail. It also incorporates group chats so that you can chat with other people in the area.
Buddycloud currently works on Symbian S60 and there are iPhone and Android ports in development. Much work has been done on optimising for low data usage and power consumption. The client currently runs on 30KB/hour.
Now you can:
* see where your friends are
* see where they have been
* see where they are planning on going
* share your current mood or "message to the world"
* chat privately with your friends with instant messages
* join group chats, discuss, flirt or get to know new friends
* see how many people are at places near you
* meet people near you
